Aiken Technical College and Rolls-Royce Power Systems have collaborated to create a new pre-apprenticeship program.
An information session will be held on Thursday, Nov. 6, for the new pre-apprenticeship machine tool technology pathway, which will launch in January 2026 and be offered through the college’s Office of Continuing Education.
The information session will begin at 5:30 p.m. and take place in Building F, Room 117-A. Those interested in participating should RSVP at https://bit.ly/4mLvZRK.
During the information session, attendees will learn about the new program, hear from reps from Aiken Tech and Rolls-Royce Power Systems, and have the opportunity to complete the enrollment paperwork. The program will be offered at no cost for eligible South Carolina residents. Additional information about the no-cost opportunity will also be shared.
